Applications
Direct thermal printers like the Microcom M-410 8 were widely used through the 1990s in medical, clinical, and administrative settings for printing patient wristbands, specimen labels, pharmacy labels, and records management labels. The MedPlus branding points specifically to healthcare label printing applications. These printers connect to a PC via parallel port and print without ink or ribbon — heat from the printhead activates the thermal paper or label stock directly. The parallel-port interface was the standard connection for label printers of this mid-1990s generation, compatible with DOS- and Windows 3.x/95-era workstations. Replacement thermal label stock in compatible widths may still be sourced from third-party suppliers for ongoing use.
This Microcom M-410 8 MedPlus thermal barcode label printer is in used condition. The existing description described it as 'brand new in a brown box,' but the condition field indicates Used and the unit carries a manufacture date of April 1995, making a new-in-box claim inconsistent with the age of this surplus item. The printer appears to be in good cosmetic shape overall with normal wear consistent with age. The front panel and MedPlus logo are intact, the paper platen and roller are visible and intact on the rear, and all ports and the IEC power inlet appear undamaged. It has not been powered up or tested at our facility but was pulled from a working environment. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
